Hi, I have 2 servers nearly same. One has dovecot, other has courier. This is the only difference. I installed them via ISP Config Debian tutorials. Problem is: the one with dovecot runs perfect but the other one is really slow with smtp. Here is MXTOOLBOX reports: This server works fine: 220 ****.******.com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU) Test Result SMTP Reverse Banner Check OK - 94.73.130.154 resolves to ****.******.com SMTP Reverse DNS Mismatch OK - Reverse DNS matches SMTP Banner SMTP TLS OK - Supports TLS.

What can the problem be? Thanks for help.
Please check if the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf are correct and reachable and that they are responding fast.
Thank you very much. It got dns from my kerio server. I changed them and everything works fine now. Thanks again.
